Malte RodThe source of many of my plant dreams these days are these apple seedlings. I got the seed from the inspiring Californian small-scale apple breeder Steven Edholm. Each container is either an open pollinated mix of summer, fall, winter apples or specific styles of apples like savory or red-fleshed apples. There's a few specific crosses, esp. of red-fleshed and highly aromatic apple varieties - some of them that are Edholm's own creations. I've grafted several of his new releases this year like BITE ME!, Amberwine, Black Strawberry, Cherub, Cherry Crush and Tomboy and plan on doing my own crosses too this year. Looking forward in anticipation to taste the fruits. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AppleRenaissance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppleRenaissance</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PlantBreeding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantBreeding</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FruitExplorer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FruitExplorer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MalusDomestica?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MalusDomestica</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Apples?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apples</a>

Malte RodSome pics of the perennial kale landrace I'm developing. Original seed came from Chris Homanics which I crossed with Daubenton for further bushy growth habit. There's probably also some other kale genetics in there by now. Have been growing it for 5-6 years or so at 4 different sites. This one is at the school. I love to go looking for new colors, shapes or particularly healthy individuals, esp. ability to survive the winters, slugs, birds and caterpillars. My goal is to adapt this landrace to my conditions and the tastes of local chefs.
